Apache Creek Golf Club

Light wind made for a nice day. Course in best shape I had ever seen it! Will be back. A bargain. Thanks.

Apache Creek on this day May 27, 2024 was in pretty good shape.

The Range was grass (Yea!) and the balls were pretty good.

The greens were rolling nicely. The fairways and tees were cut and in good shape.

The food in the snackbar was fine.

Overall I say it was reasonable value and experience.

They do a nice job at this course.

The marshall kept lurking the entire time, made everyone feel rushed but you can only go as fast as the group ahead, first course we saw a marshall do this...maybe the marshall should just bug the front group to go faster (trickle effect). Super dusty course due to so much sand/dirt, so winds kick up a lot of dirt. Water along the way or at least coolers to keep drinks cold should be offered for the price you pay.

Pace of play was very slow to say the least. Course ranger came up to us many times to say that there was a few groups a head of us with some inexperienced golfers in it. I asked what he was doing about it and he said nothing really that he could do. Last time he came to us I told him this will be close to a six hour round and in fact it was a 5 3/4 hour round. We were delayed almost 30 minutes to start and was told by the starter the reason for the delay was because some guy had his kid playing and would 3 to 4 balls each time. If the course rangers are not going to do anything about the slow play why have them out there to begin with? Also, be advised there is no drinking water on the course and the starter only gives you enough for one per person.

Friendly staff, great service, excellent golf course and in great shape. Will definitely play here again.

The course is in terrible condition. Lots of bare spots. Some greens are OK but some have bare spots. Fareway sprinklers were on all morning while we played. Must be 100,000 gopher holes on the course. Some tee boxes require a drill to get the tee in the ground.

Easy to find. Easy check in. Cleaned carts with ball and club washer. And sand bottles. Water for us at start. Tees fairly good but a number especially the 3’s with pretty uneven ground. Fairways good roughs with spotty grass and lots of desert. Bunkers playable. Greens rolling pretty well and some curve. Price finally down. Water buckets for towels played in 3:50. Carts can’t go to car. Sometimes tough turning left out of driveway late in the day.

The sand was like concrete, there is no water on the course and it is hard to figure out where we are supposed to be hitting. It was almost 100f day and no shade
